Bluetooth speaker won't pair with your phone or computer
Turn off Bluetooth on your device, turn the speaker off completely, wait 10 seconds, turn the speaker back on, and immediately turn Bluetooth back on. This resets the connection and fixes pairing in most cases.
Bluetooth speakers and devices need to find each other at exactly the right time. When timing is off or an old connection is blocking a new one, pairing fails. Turning both devices off and on again fixes it.
